Glenbow Museum

The Glenbow Museum is a regional art and history museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum is dedicated to Western Canadian history and culture, as well as Indigenous perspectives. Eric Lafferty Harvie, a lawyer, businessman, and philanthropist, founded the Glenbow Museum as a private non-profit foundation in 1955 with materials from his personal collection.

The Glenbow Museum hailed as one of Canada's best, caters to both history buffs and art lovers. The exhibits here are primarily about Western Canadian culture, but there are also displays of European art, Asian sculpture, and even West African artifacts, as well as plenty of hands-on activities to keep children entertained. Recent visitors lauded the museum's fascinating exhibits, historical treatment, and interactive arts and crafts opportunities.

The Glenbow Museum's art collection contains 33,000 works, the majority of which date from the nineteenth century to the present. The collection includes landscape painting, Canadian prints by Walter J. Phillips and modernist printmaker Sybil Andrews, First Nations and Inuit art, American illustration, and wildlife art. Works from other parts of the world provide a broader national and international context.
